Dubai: Marjan van Aubel takes her role as a designer seriously – tasked with building the future, she believes solar panels should not only generate energy but catch the eye too. In a unique integration of sustainability, technology and design, the award-winning Dutch solar designer adorns the Netherlands Pavilion at Expo 2020 Dubai with 60 organic polyethylene terephthalate (PET) solar panels.
“Sustainability is a core element. You have to rethink about what kind of material you are using and what impact it will have 10, 20, even 100 years from now,” says van Aubel, in an interview with Gulf News. The colourful panels seamlessly blend into the biotope theme of the pavilion under the banner of ‘Uniting water, energy and food’.
